Command History
Usage Guidelines This command is supported on PVLANs only.
ARP entries that are learned on Layer3 PVLAN interfaces are sticky ARP entries. (You should display
and verify ARP entries on the PVLAN interface using the show arp command).
For security reasons, sticky ARP entries on the PVLAN interface do not age out. Connecting new
equipment with the same IP address generates a message and the ARP entry is not created.
Because the ARP entries on the PVLAN interface do not age out, you must manually remove ARP
entries on the PVLAN interface if a MAC address changes.
Unlike static entries, sticky-ARP entries are not stored and restored when you enter the reboot and
restart commands.
Examples This example shows how to enable sticky ARP:
Switch# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Switch(config) ip sticky-arp
Switch(config)# end
Switch#
This example shows how to disable sticky ARP:
Switch# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Switch(config) no ip sticky-arp
Switch(config)# end
Switch#
Release Modification
